But there are some series which becomes better as time passed by. It only becomes more interesting and intriguing soon after it ended, atleast with the DVD that one owns. NANA is one of them. So what makes this anime about rival punk bands who love sex, drugs and rock and roll an all time favorite?
The relationship between the lovers in the series, Nana and Ren makes a very good story. The best part of the series is that when it was revealed how Ren abandoned Nana, and their band, to pursue a career in Tokyo with a more established band. Even with a strong facade, she was devasted and heartbroken, but later vowed revenge by being a more famous with her own band.
How they got back together, their rocky relationship that follows and the bitter rivalry between Black Stones and Trapnest added on the charm, depth and conflict in NANA. As Nana told Ren in the bathtub upon their reconciliation, she wants to go back to their old apartment after all their 'vanity' were satisfied. But NANA is not the type of series which promises a good ending.
Who would not fall for this guy? Ren was just only one of the cool guys from this series. Very talented, higly ambitious and extremely passionate but has a tendency to self destruct.
Ren Honjo was said to be inspired from Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistol.They even both have the same padlock and chains around their necks.
The movie Sid and Nancy was about the life and the tragic end of Sid Vicious and his girlfriend, Nancy. Fans hoped that NANA won't end the way the the movie concluded. Nancy was found murdered in her own room while Sid died of heroin overdose.
No matter what the ending is, which supposedly includes Ren dying in a car accident, NANA will already be in the Hall of Fame in anime series turned Japanese live action drama. And the video above entitled Endless Story, says it all.
